It’s that time of year when, even though the days are getting longer, the weather is still mostly gray skies and drizzle.  Or, as we have today, three-four inches of snow. I’ve saved lots of work on my stamps collection just for these periods.  I’ve been spending hours a day fully cataloging each and every U.S. stamp I have. So far I’ve finished 1990 to 2011 and 1857 to 1953 and the count is just a little under 5,000 unique items.  Just last week I sent off 1,800 stamps to a dealer in Utah and I’ll use the proceeds from that sale to fill in a missing older items.
